Become a TrYOU Mentor!
Are you passionate about inspiring the next generation of women in transportation? The TrYOU program is seeking mentors for our high school mentoring initiative, which empowers young women to explore careers in engineering, planning, architecture, and other transportation-related fields. As a mentor, you’ll travel within Philadelphia to attend outreach events during the school year and participate in mentor meetings to plan various outreach events. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a lasting impact by mentoring the next generation of leaders while also making connections with your peers in the transportation industry.
Mentor Responsibilities per school year:
- Attend 3 in-person outreach events in the Greater Philadelphia area
- Attend 2 in-person mentor meetings in the City of Philadelphia
- Be able to work in small groups with elementary, middle, and high school-aged girls on transportation engineering-related activities
- Have an open mind!
*Please note the school year runs from September to June. Events typically will require about 3 hours of volunteer time during the school day or Saturday mornings.
